Here we will learn someof the signs that a child might have if they have dyslexia.

If someone struggles with spelling, is a slow reader who has a difficult time sounding out unknown words, and has difficulty
getting their great thoughts down on paper in acceptable form, and that person has 3 or more of these classic warning
signs, it is worth getting that person tested for dyslexia.

Delayed speech (not speaking any words
by the child's first birthday. Often, they don't start talking until they are two, two-and-a-half, three, or even older.)

Mixing up sounds in multi-syllabic words (ex: aminal for animal, bisghetti for spaghetti, hekalopter for
helicopter, hangaberg for hamburger, mazageen for magazine, etc.)

Early
stuttering or cluttering

Lots of ear infections

Can't master tying shoes

Confusion over left versus right, over versus under, before versus after, and other directionality words
and concepts

Late to establish a dominant hand. May switch from right hand to left hand while coloring, writing,
or doing any other task. Eventually, the child will usually establish a preferred hand, but it may not be until they are 7
or 8. Even then, they may use one hand for writing, but the other hand for sports.

Inability to correctly complete phonemic awareness task

Despite listening to stories that contain lots of rhyming words, such as Dr. Seuss, cannot tell you words
that rhyme with cat or seat by the age of four-and-a-half

Difficulty learning the names of the letters or sounds in the alphabet; difficulty writing the alphabet
in order

Trouble correctly articulating R's and L's as well as M's and N's. They often have "immature" speech.
They may still be saying "wed and gween" instead of "red and green" in second or third grade.
